What You Need to Know About Ebola

In coordination with the Brevard County Health Department, Health First has expanded our plans, protocols and training in the event a suspected or confirmed Ebola case arrives at one of our facilities. Our plan includes criteria for early detection, isolation and care of our patients.

Here are additional measures we are taking to protect our community.

We are conducting system-wide training with our associates.

We have obtained additional equipment to protect our associates and others in our community.

We have implemented more rigorous evaluations of all patients who come to our facilities. We specifically ask patients about their travel history and symptoms that might put them at risk for a disease, such as Ebola.

In the event of any suspicious cases, we would immediately enact our comprehensive isolation procedures.

If there is any indication of a highly infectious disease, we would coordinate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure optimal patient care.
